St Matthew's RC High School is a mixed Roman Catholic secondary school located in the Moston area of Manchester, England.[1] The school is named after Saint Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and, according to Christian tradition, one of the four Evangelists.

It is a voluntary aided school administered by Manchester City Council and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford. St Matthew's RC High School offers GCSEs, BTECs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils. The school building was rebuilt during 2007-2009 and opened in September 2009.This was to replace the aging building built in the 1970s. The school celebrated 40 years open in September 2017.

In January 2018 for the first time in its history, the school was placed into special measures by Ofsted, following the November 2017 inspection. This as a result of low pass rates in English and maths (in which the school ranked in the bottom 10% nationally), poor leadership, as well as noticeable behavioural and attendance issues. The school previously ranked as requires improvement in September 2015, and Good in 2012.

In September 2018, Helen Murden took over as Headteacher, introducing a wide range of reforms to improve the school’s outcomes.

Notable alumni include boxers Anthony Crolla , Terry Flanagan.[citation needed] , footballer Brandon Barker , Rapper Aitch and 2017 Love Island contestant Domminic Lever.
